This is a cool little grep search to pull any IPs from a text file:
grep -Eo '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' file_with_ips_in_it.txt | sort | uniq

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded the site to Drupal V7 - it was pretty straight forward, a few glitches here and there, but overall, pretty smooth. It was worth waiting a few years for the code to be nicely cleaned up :)

A BIG Thank You to all those clever people that contributed to the Drupal 7 experience - there is no doubt about it - it is a fantastic product.

I have had to mess with this way too many times, so just for the record, here is what works for me:
[this based on an Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) system...]

  RewriteEngine on
  #
  # this is for sites using port 80:
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

The Chrome browser has for 1 full week edged out IE as the world's top browser.
That's BIG news for many different reasons, and shows just how persistent Google has been at pushing for a more open, standards-based browser solution.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the next Microsoft strategic planning session...

I have just spent a few hours getting familiar with this cool tool. Drush allows most housekeeping for Drupal sites to be done from a command line - it's a wonderful thing. Just take a look at how much I got done executing this single command:

I finally sat the Security+ Cert exam from CompTIA last month. Passed it, but it is definitely not an easy exam - they require memorization of lots of niggly little things that really do nothing to ensure that you really know about Securty. it's more about knowing the names of certain exploits, viruses, etc.
